Sample Completed Whole Life Map
“One of my favorite things about this book was that it encouraged planning for play. It serves as a great reminder that all work and no play creates a dull person!” -RhiRhi
“I used this as a guide that works better than my usual “someday I will” routine. Someday we’ll have kids. Someday we’ll get out of debt. Someday I’ll manage my time better. This did a great job of giving me rational options for the future.“ – StephanieLouise
“I learned that it’s ok to own goals that seem big. When I was younger I was more able to dream in huge ways…reading My Life Map made me think about planning big things…and to recognize how much I wanted them.” – TiarasandTrucks
“The value of My Life Map doesn’t come from a creating a perfect map. It comes from taking the time to reflect and think seriously about things…I learned that I’m not quite as allergic to the thought of long-term planning as I thought I was. So thank you Kate and David!” – Karen
“The ten-year plan was exactly why I wanted to do this book…It was eye-opening and stressed me out, but I needed that kick in the pants, for sure.” -SluiterNation
“My plans for the future were always a bit vague. So I learned to clarify and nail down some of the ideas and wishes floating around in my head. It was definitely an eye-opener in a couple of places.” – Tima
“I learned that I really NEED to write in order to plan…I need to be able to write, draw, branch off in tangents and physically put pen to paper.” – ParentingMiracles
“It helped solidify things that I’ve been thinking about and to acknowledge that the 10-year plan I had been so married to at age 22, 25, is not how I want my life to be…The mapping process helped me to see that I can think and dream but I need to make changes and do things and leap. I am now thinking about what I can do and what’s possible so that I can change that plan.” -healthystrides
“I love how this book forced me to think about the past, present and future and that it included all of these areas of life, not just work and family, which many other books focus on. It helped me reflect on the things I truly enjoy and helped me create future goals that will provide me with a well rounded and happy life.” -OneFrugalGirl
“I realized that I’ve been living in a survival way of thinking, and that’s kept me from looking forward. My Life Map helped me to realize that looking ahead and planning and dreaming are so good for my outlook, because, in truth, I’m doing more than surviving. It helped to shift the way I was thinking a bit.” – MyMommysPlace
“I’m most excited about the Learning and Play sections. I really did need the kick in the pants to figure out a few things in that regard. Do I have it all figured out? Nope, but I’ve got a lot more figured out than I did a month ago and I’m looking at course catalogues to figure out if I can squeeze anything into the coming months.” – Karen
“I really appreciated the visual layout of the life mapping. It gave me a way to really contextualize what I was looking at, in both past and future, and really neat to see how everything fit in the present moment.” -KeikoZoll
“I really liked this book, the quality of the paper was perfect for journalling, the examples were ones I could identify with and helped me to understand how to use the book for my own life plan.” -Kath
“The book made me really think about what truly fulfills me in life and reminded me that while making enough money to live comfortably is important, I need to carve out more time in my life for friends, play, and continued learning. The question that stuck with me from this book was “What are your three main responsibilities.” I quickly scribbled down “make money” in the number one slot and then felt stumped…I’m realizing that we have so many responsibilities in life, like having fun or being a decent human!” – AdaWrites
“Lately the main thing my husband and I have been discussing is our future. We’re trying to set goals and figure out financially, emotionally and career-wise what we need to do…I’m loving this book. This is great for relationships! Sometimes it’s hard to talk about what’s going on in your marriage or relationship and books like this can help to “put you both on the same page” so to speak.” -Emmi
“If you or someone you know and love in your life is uneasy or unhappy with the direction of their life this is definitely a worthwhile purchase that offers rewards that far outweigh the price tag.”
